Christmas Outfit Idea 12.23.2015

 Vest: Target (more options here) | Sweater: Gap (similar)

Leggings: Zella | Boots: Steve Madden (available in all sizes + 20% off!)

Hat: ASOS | Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs

We shot these photos in the courtyard of The Cheshire (more about our stay here), and I loved the ivy and English charm! This outfit is a bit more bold than what I typically wear, but I like to step things up for holiday gatherings, and I think a faux fur vest is perfect for Christmas. You can still be comfy but look glamorous at the same time ;)

I'm off to do my Christmas Eve/Christmas grocery shopping along with everyone else, so wish me luck!

Faux Fur + Chambray 1.08.2015

 Vest: Target (may still be available in stores | similar here (seen on this blogger), here) | Shirt: Forever 21 (old, similar) | Pants: H&M | Booties: Elliott Lucca (also available here) | Hat: Prima Donna | Bag: H&M (similar) | Watch: Fossil | Bracelets: Loren Hope, The Limited, Lily and Laura | Lips: Revlon balm stain in 'Crush' | Nails: Essie 'Penny Talk'

I hope you're having a great week! This is an outfit I put together for work the other day, and it's ridiculously cold here this week, so this vest was nice and warm (and more socially acceptable then wearing my coat indoors all day long). 

Is anyone else getting a major endorphin/motivation boost from the days starting to get longer again?? I swear nothing demotivates me faster than walking out of work to darkness! So, there being an hour+ of sunlight after work in the evenings again is really helping with my motivation to cook dinner, work out, get things done around the house, and work on blog posts more!

Christmas Day Outfit 12.28.2014

 Vest: Target (sold out online, but bought in-store a couple of weeks ago (size XS) | similar here, here) | Top: J.Crew Factory (size small) | Skirt: Target (similar here, here) | Booties: Elliott Lucca (also available here) | Tights: Express | Watch: Fossil | Bracelets: Loren Hope, Margaret Elizabeth

As promised, I'm sharing my Christmas Day outfit! Even though we do my family's Christmas at my parents' house and it's a fairly small gathering, my sister and I always like to dress up a bit and wear something fun. I got this faux fur vest (my first ever) at Target a few weeks ago and I'm so sad that it's now sold out online, but I would say there's a good chance it's still in lots of stores for those of you who are interested/asked on Instagram :)

In case you missed it, you can check out my Christmas blog post here!

Christmas Snapshots 12.26.2014

Loved this little appearance by Russell :)

My family :)

 My sister Tessa and I with our good friend/basically sister Sarah!

 We used some leftover wedding and bridal shower decorations and they were stunning!

Last Christmas Trey proposed, and this year we got to celebrate our first Christmas being married! Life is so so good with this cutie :)

Happy Holidays everyone! I just wanted to share some iPhone + camera snapshots from our Christmas yesterday. My camera went into a bit of a funk towards the end so I didn't get to shoot dedicated outfit photos, but I'll post a separate outfit post in the next few days.

We celebrated with Trey's family on Christmas Eve and with my family yesterday, which always works out so nicely. We went up early in the day to hangout with my family since we don't see them quite as much anymore, and then lots of friends and family came over for dinner and it was so great!

I hope you all had a wonderful love-filled day with friends and family!

xo,

Jacy

Vest: Target (sold out online, but bought in-store just a couple of weeks ago | similar here, here) | Top: J.Crew Factory (super on sale today) | Skirt: Target (similar here, here) | Booties: Elliott Lucca (also still available here) | Tights: Express (the best tights if you like the opaque look + they don't slide/sag at all) | Watch: Fossil | Bracelets: Loren Hope, Margaret Elizabeth | Nails: Essie 'Fishnet Stockings'

October Wish List 10.21.2013

Window Pane Blouse | Tortoise Bracelet | Black & White Flats

Cognac Suede Booties | Berry Lipstick | Black A-Line Skirt

Statement Earrings | Fur Collar Jacket | Faux Fur Vest | Leopard iPhone 5 Case

Over-the-Knee Boots | Glasses | Black Satchel | Burgundy Polish 

Hello friends! I hope all of you had a wonderful, relaxing weekend! I got to go back to my alma mater, Mizzou, for their game against Florida on Saturday - we won & are now #5 in the country! I'm a huge sports fan so I'm extremely excited about this.

Now onto fall shopping - my favorite! In my shopping picks this month I included some of my favorite new trends: over-the-knee boots (how amazing are the Sole Society pair above?), window pane prints, and color-blocked flats. Other fall favorites include faux fur, utility jackets and leopard of course. 

I ordered the Warby Parker glasses last week and can't wait to get them! I'm also planning to order the suede booties in black and to pick up the flats in leopard & black, which I found in-store at Charlotte Russe (I know, right?). If I have money leftover in my shopping budget these next couple of weeks I'll be purchasing as much as I can from my wish list though (starting with the fur vest & black satchel)!

Happy shopping!

xo,

Jacy

fashion feature: Hannah. 2.09.2013

Today I wanted to do a fun little post to feature one of my fashionable friends, Hannah, who also happens to be one of my roommates! We literally ran out the front door to snap these photos on a horribly cold and snowy day last week, but the snowflakes ended up looking precious...so, suffering for beauty really paid off I guess! Anyways, the reason we took pictures in the first place was because I write for the fashion website CollegeFashionista.com, and Hannah was my model for a 'Winter Night Out' look (read the article here). Her outfit was just too cute to not share on here as well! (I'm loving her ultra-glam faux fur vest and lipstick!)

I hope all of you are having a splendid (and relaxing) weekend so far! I'll be back with an outfit post on Monday :)

xo,

the burgundy blouse ~ 4 ways {2}. 11.13.2012

Top: Forever 21 (similar finds here and here) | Faux-fur vest: thrifted by my roommate (similar here)

Jeans: American Eagle | Suede booties: Steve Madden (similar here and here)

I can't believe that my roommate Ashley thrifted this amazing faux-fur vest for a mere $4! How fabulous is it?? I just had to borrow it because I loved the luxe feel when paired with burgundy (and sadly, I do not own a faux-fur vest of my own yet). Although I styled this blouse with denim last week, I felt like this outfit had a different feel and that it's a really versatile ensemble featuring some of my favorite trends this fall!

Don't forget to enter my giveaway with Swank Boutique for a Gorjana & Griffin initial stackable ring! Entering is a piece of cake, so make sure to take part by Friday!
